Definitions

  • One advantage of the invention is that even when spatial and recursive temporal noise reduction are added to the motion compensated upconversion (MCU), two field memories only are sufficient to perform these functions. This can be achieved with special circuitry under the condition that the motion compensated interpolator receives partly the same video input signal as the motion estimator and that, once a wrong motion vector is calculated, the temporal filter will not propagate this error. Tests have shown that the latter can be achieved due to the kind of control used in the temporal noise reduction and that the error will decay from field to field.
  • a further advantage of the invention is that motion vectors for large main blocks need to be stored only so that the vector memory can have a low capacity.
  • Fig. 5 differs from that of Fig. 4 in that spatial filter SF is omitted at its original location but that the function of SF is included into motion estimator ME.
  • Fig. 6 differs from that of Fig. 5 in that predictor PRED is omitted at its original location but that the function of PRED is included into motion compensated interpolator MCI.
  • the spatial noise reduction filter may comprise a horizontal and/or vertical and/or diagonal lowpass filter and/or may comprise a two-dimensional or a directional median filter as depicted in Fig. 20. In case of directional filtering the filter direction is a function of the correlation of the central pixel with the corresponding neighbouring pixels.
  • the filter of Fig. 20 operates in a window of e.g. 3*3 pixels and reduces impulse noise but preserves texture, details and edges and works in the following way:
  • the arrows d1 to d4 depict filtering directions with the pixel values x11 to x33.
